Who will stand closed peeled back exposed
Be an altered design of those who've been chose
*(Destructive routines play amusements with reality
Difficulties hinder what willful minds hope to be
To find your way thru mazes of hard rain and stone
You must know you'll never make it. Never make it home)*
To change the everyday
Depose what they call necessary
Engagements of mindless banter
Won't trouble a mere contender
Overtake the free form waste
It bars you Binds you
Puts you in your place
It's given what's yours is yours but time reveals all truths
I'm an altered design of those who've been chose

Summer

Sweet summer song Turn & she's gone
Sweet summer blue But You're just passing thru
First they're up then they're down
Summer people spinnin round
Pretty cars in a row summer people ebb & flow
Now they're in then they're out Summer people round a bout
They eclipse they parade Summer people masquerade
Summer hot summer cold Summer bought summer sold
Summer asked summer told Summer choked on fool's gold
Ante up here we go another summer carni show
Calling all worker bees and pretty summer drama queens
Gala fest summer ball summer soaked in alcohol
Saddle up Kill the pain Summer runs on pink champagne
Summer rich summer terse summer blessed summer cursed
Summer flesh summer souls Summer thrives on fools gold
Bring back my summer Bring back my summer
Fourscore& 10 days we tiptoe thru the rat race
Blink of an eye summer's gone
Enter little bright eyes you're clutching for the door prize
With nimbus in your hand what went wrong?
Bring back my summer
Here comes city big boy he bought himself a new toy
Gonna show the little town how he won
But queen's rook to knight's pawn and uh oh you're all done
Then checkmate my friend summer's gone
Traffic jams & August snow & summer people doe-see-doe
Schism left & schism right summer brothels summer fights
How can such a pretty thing evolve into a circus ring
4 way stops & rent-a-cops & pretty bobbled candy shops
Just a little taste of summer
Take me to the place called summer

Stand to
The windseye
She’ll show her heels
To the longnines
I’m the whisper in your ear
All the dross that you hold dear
I’m the tempest and the flood
I’m the mark of flesh and blood
Sights are set and I don’t miss
I’m the beast I’m Judas kiss
I’m the bane that blights your soul
Leviathan your torpedo
You won’t forsake me
I’m your sine qua non
You won’t mistake me
I’m what you’re made of
I can’t be shaken
I’m the road to demise
You will not break me
Come along for the ride
I know just what you think
I know you’re on the brink
Just a little drink
To see you through
I know you wanna touch it
I know how very much it
Makes you feel alive
She’ll never know
You know that you deserve this
All your years of service
Just a numbers game
They’ll never know
You know you can’t defeat it
So acquiesce and free it
You might as well release it
Torpedo
Jack Ketch on the longboats
Tyburn saints for Tyburn trees
Sirens sing their last note
Seven sins and seven seas
I am crouched and dressed to kill
Iniquity corporal will
I’m the fuel but you’re the flame
No one but yourself to blame
I’m the splinters in your veins
You’re the crutch your hell your acid rain
Relentless guilt and endless shame
Yes I go by many names
Come a little nearer
Wanna see me clearer
Step up to the mirror
There I am
Never gonna tame me
Discard or defame me
Just a little game called
Me and you
Really quite amusing
You censure but diffuse me
Never gonna lose me
We are one
You know you can’t defeat me
So acquiesce and free me
You might as well release me
Torpedo
Captain’s daughters waiting
Deadly sins and deadly seas
To pay for your hell-raking
I am you and you are me
I am
Save our souls

Father

Father who held me in the palm of your hand
You breathed the world in mine Tought me how to find honesty intrepidly
Father who gave me all you had to give & wished the wish that made me live
Who fought yourself for me fought yourself to be there for me
Father who etched this human heart with love and care
Your final lesson left to bare spills into my everywhere
But time it plays it's fickle games and shouts its many colored names
Father you clothed youself with truth as a man
Your fairness equaled sacrifice nothing less would dare suffice
Our creed became I can we felled the shadow's stand
(chorus)
I'm a fool to think that I know
Center stage now on with the show
Vain attempt to open my eyes
Connect the dots the ties
Opaque pictures can't be shown
Inner scriptures turn to stone
Your face is carved into the rocks
As dreams paint their paradox
This rain cascading from my pores
Your strength grounds my core
It's all become so saturnine
Your recall awakes my mind
Time to embrace the fettered sound
Release it to higher ground
This bond that's reveling inside
This bond that blows with every breeze
Says with the changing of the tide
This is my life to seize
Child of mine Have I told you
I love you
Father of mine Have I told you
I miss you
I'm a fool to think that I know
Center stage now on with the show
Opaque pictures can"t be shown
Inner scripture turns to stone

Goodboy

Be a good boy Like you should boy
At 22 he earned his shield A badge a belt a gun to wield
2 months down into his beat A soul infected by the streets
What started as protect & serve Spills into young blood on the curb
Two men dead one body cold The other walks without his soul
They were good boys Aw, such good boys
His silverspoons and golden hair Didn't come from Laissez-faire
Born a politicians son Born to walk on everyone
With eloquence & grace he's taught To play the game just don't caught
He learned to live like daddy said But noble blue blood still bleeds red
He's a good boy Did as he should boy
Johnny learned his best defense To wrap himself in silence
or don the colors black and blue They'll be there when daddys through
His job his pills his endlss painOh god he hates his life again
This worthless brat is just a chore Johnny doesn't live there anymore
Say why,Say why
Who made the rules that broke your back Who smeared your colors into black
What makes a good boy turn so bad Who quelled what little life you had
Who stole the thoughts inside your mind Splintered your dreams and left you blind
Who dullled the brilliance in your soulTangled you up in mute control
Who plays the trite text in your head Some things are better left unsaid
But if you stop and think it through Really it's up to me and you
Who put the roadblocks in your way What kind of hero saves your day
Consequence and it's truth End of your story is up to you
Be a good boy
